Colts and Girls Sections - Policies and Codes of Conduct

The Club Committee wishes to make it clear that it values greatly the Colts (Boys) and Girls Sections of the Club and is committed to providing the very best facilities for all our youngsters.

We believe that the colts/girls will be more likely to enjoy their cricket and have more fun if they are well managed and receive top quality coaching.

As part of our continuing drive to develop these arrangements, the Club has produced a Preston Nomads Cricket Club - Policy for Colts/Girls, to inform the colts/girls and their parents (or guardians) what they can expect of the Club. This is set out below.

Underpinning this Policy, are the following codes of conduct and Club Equity Statement

Display a discipline in time-keeping for all matches and all training sessions

Display a discipline in dress standards, during both matches and training

Act as role models for the Colts section

'Go the extra mile' in contributing to the reputation and well-being of the Club; this might include applauding opposition play, assisting home and opposition groundsmen and scorers, providing substitute fielders for the opposition in case of injury and supporting the annual NatWest Cricket Force event

Failure by a PNCC Academy player to comply with the above provisions may lead to the Club taking disciplinary action against the player. As a last resort, this may include temporary or permanent exclusion from the PNCC Academy

The Spirit of Cricket has been stated by the ECB as follows:

"Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique approval to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws, but also within the Spirit of the Game. Any action which is seen to abuse this spirit causes injury to the game itself. The major responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests with the captains."
